Cannot get voice prompt when dialling

Hi,

Sometimes, when some users call our VXML, they cannot hear anything in their phone. I checked the call log, but couldn't find anything wrong in it. The log says the nessacery voice prompts are successfully played. But why sometimes users can not hear them.

This just happens occasionaly, not always. So I guess it should be related with the signal strength. not sure, any suggestions?

Thanks
Han

I attached the log files below. hope you could find something out. In this call event, the caller cannnot hear anything in his phone. But it seems the everything is ok in the Log.

Hi Han,

As this appears to be an occasional issue, it may just be an issue with the user's cell phone.

However, if you post your code here (or through PM if your code contains any sensitive information), we might be able to provide you with some feedback to help you with your code.

Regards,
Plum Support

No, problem.

Here's the entry VXML that those users sometimes cannot hear the voice prompt inside.

Hi Han,

There doesn't appear to be any issues with your application script as we were able to dial into it multiple times and were always able to hear the Suffolk_greeting.wav introduction file at the beginning of the application.

For those who have experienced this issue of not hearing the audio file when dialing in, do you know if they were able to reproduce it? Or were they one-time events? If this is the case, then most likely, there was an issue with the user's phone upon dialing into the application.

Regards,
Plum Support

Those people got these issue several times, not in a fixed time but randomly.

We ran a simple test of Han's issue. Six callers dialed into his IVR number at roughly the same time. Five got through, and one was never connected. The caller who was not connected was also not logged by the IVR. That person hung up, tried again, and was connected.

This percentage of failed connections (to this IVR number) has been rather consistent throughout the NJ/NY area. Might there be a connectivity problem with your phone line provider?

Hi Cesar,

As this issue deals more with a carrier-related issue than a code-related issue, we recommend that you open up a support ticket by sending an e-mail to our support team. To start a support ticket, you can send an e-mail to support@plumgroup.com with your 8-digit customer ID (found in your support contract with Plum) in the subject line.

From there, our engineers would be able to help you further diagnose what might be causing this issue.

Regards,
Plum Support
